## Description

WD Purple 3TB Surveillance 3.5" Internal Hard Drive, AllFrame Technology, 180BT/yr, 256MB Cache, 3 Year Warranty : desertcart.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors

Review: Reliability - I have used these drives for over 10 years without issue. The existing one was 7 years old which is approaching the reliability end of life for this drive type although nothing was wrong. The first drive I had to send back as faulty but this was not the companies fault as although the packaging was marked fragile it didn’t have an adequate amount of packaging protection and the Royal Mail postman posted the item through my letterbox so it was probably the fall that damaged the delicate rotor arm.
Review: Great replacement - Purchased for a replacement in my CCTV swann system, for the price paid I was able to double my storage too from 2TB to 4TB. The transfer from broken orginal system HDD was really easy took no more than 10min once attached and formated it began recording straight away. Happy with the drive and cost I paid for 4TB

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WD Purple for NAS drives? YUP
*by P***R on 14 September 2023*

I bought these as I was building a home server/nas and wanted a raid 5 setup (min 3 drives) and they were going into a Jonsbo N1 case which is really small and doesn't have really the best airflow through the drives ( If you look at the pic the highest temp drives are directly behind the fan hub ). These drives however are designed to run constant and hotter than most (upper limit is I believe 70 degrees), they're not the fastest drives but as I'm using these for serving Movies, Music and TV Shows And running Home Assistant i just wanted the reliability. I'm running them via OMV6 in low power and low acoustic mode (I have no idea whether these drives support this but they are virtually silent and the server sits approx 2ft away from me in my office) These came in sealed WD branded boxes in bubble wrap with silica desiccant and all checked out with 0 hrs power on time and no bad sectors etc (Brand New )... ( I got caught out buying from China and received a drive with a 2023 label but over 5 YEARS of runtime !!! ) Will be purchasing 2 more very shortly to replace my other old drives. Recommended.
